A senior I know just closed on a 2 million condo (parents helped out). They feel like they should just lie when people ask if her if she rents or buy? Thoughts on if that is the right move?

Just say she bought it and parents helped with that down payment.. Why is this even a convo?

I wouldn't lie but I tend to avoid the topic. I am from a decently wealthy family and people just assume I get hand outs. #richpeopleproblems

I was able to stay at home during uni so I saved a lot of money but I have also been shrewd with my investments and made quite a bit on real estate and stocks. People always comment on my cars (not that special...but I guess it's too expensive for a new grad or junior people) but I actually earned my own money to buy them. My first paycheck working at a McDonald's and paid my own tuition using paid internships.

Without the price tag I don't see it as a huge issue. I'll respond to rent questions with my combined mortgage/tax/HOA amount without feeling the need to clarify that I bought but I won't hide that I bought if asked directly

Yeah, this is a boundary thing. It is nobody's business. She could always say- I own, but I got a great deal! The end and then change subject. That's how I play those things. Not saying that it is fool proof, but it is my strategy. Still awkward though.

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
